The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Li Zhen glanced back at the two of them without making a sound.

Were those two scared just now?

Don't they know they can hear them?

"You know how scary you were just now."

In the Shadow Dimension, Rachel was embracing the Unjust Raven, gently patting and comforting it, while also making a sarcastic remark about the thoughts transmitted by Li Zhen.

The Unjust Raven had briefly connected with Li Zhen's consciousness, and what it saw was far more than just the scene of Li Zhen abusing those Kryptonian prisoners in reality.

The images of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and the annihilation of civilizations that Li Zhen had buried deep in her heart, were only partially revealed, yet they still shocked the Unjust Raven like never before.

Three years of violent regime by the unjust regime?

It's completely off the roadside.

Even the destruction caused by the Three Palaces Demon's repeated invasions of the Holy Dimension Acharas was not as shocking as the fragments in Li Zhen's memory.

The overwhelming power of the Three Palaces Demon God, and the world-destroying scenes it brought, were ultimately just the overwhelming pressure of the supreme demon god's power engulfing heaven and earth, much like the fear and helplessness of ordinary people facing natural disasters.

The indifference honed by long experience, watching countless crazed, bloodthirsty warriors descend like locusts upon the invaded planet, the sheer force of their punches and kicks shattering continents, slaughtering millions upon millions of rebellious and unarmed beings—all these were directly impactful.

It is enough to make any soul with positive feelings towards civilization and life feel pain that transcends the limits of language.

To put it bluntly, the harm suffered by the Unjust Raven after confronting those images was even greater than that suffered by Lee Jung, who was a witness to those events.

Because raven's aesthetic sense differs from that of humans, her experience growing up in the divine dimension has led her to feel the same pity for most non-human-looking alien species.

Her logic lacked the buffer of "not of our kind" thinking that Li Zhen brought from her previous life when facing the alien planet.

There was no longer the soul resonance that Rachel had with Li Zhen to distract her.

After all, Li Zhen was in an extremely excited killing state just now and didn't have time to resonate with the other raven that had rashly connected.

After Li Zhen connected her consciousness to the divine body, which was also stored in the Shadow Dimension, she glanced at Raven, who was clearly larger but trembling in Rachel's smaller arms, and then awkwardly moved away.

On the sailboat in the sky outside, the four of them were all caught in an eerie atmosphere.

Mon El silently steered the ship, while Mar and Mia lowered their voices further, whispering and chatting away.

Finally realizing how horrifying her actions had been, Li Zhen clenched her fist and coughed.

"Actually, I'm not usually that bad. Besides, the people I just killed were probably supervillains, right?" Mar was clearly showing signs of PTSD. Mar wouldn't have blindly flattered Li Zhen like this in the past.

Mia also kept chatting with Mardon to reduce her nervousness when standing near Li Zhen.

There was no way around it; now, whenever her gaze fell upon Li Zhen, all she could think about was how she would die—beheaded, pierced through the chest, or have her spine torn apart—in a fit of rage by the latter.

This association was completely beyond her control.

Mon El shook the rudder in his hand, adjusted the direction, and then spoke quietly.

"The civilization of Daxing is quite similar to that of Krypton, and their histories are interconnected—the way you looked just now was even more frightening than the Kryptonian army that maintained the habit of expeditions in ancient times."

Li Zhen immediately reflected on her actions.

"Okay, okay, I'll change it next time, or try to do it when you're not watching."

Even Marl couldn't keep filming this time.

After stammering for a long time, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence.

"At least the instructor saved me money on movie tickets for the next twenty years. I won't need to spend money to watch movies with violent, war, gore, or horror themes anymore."

The memories of the Phantom Zone alone are more than enough to last a lifetime. Li Zhen turned her head to admire the scenery outside, somewhat speechless.

I didn't pay attention when I was fighting the Berserker, and the sandstorm was too strong when I was walking in the desert.

Only then did Li Zhen realize that the Phantom Zone actually had a sky and a sun.

However, that sun was much farther away than the yellow sun as seen from Earth, and its color was a dazzling azure.

The sky, on the other hand, was a pale, purplish-white.

The color combination alone made Li Zhen feel physically uncomfortable.

Although he had seen many unusual sky colors during Witrum's time, the stars in those galaxies were nothing more than alternating colors of yellow, orange, and red.

I did see a green planet once in a video of a Victory textbook when I was a child. I vaguely remember that the lesson said it was the most tragic conquest in the history of Victory.

The only planet in the Green Star system to give rise to life was a place where all the creatures encountered after landing were incredibly powerful, and Green Star itself was constantly releasing lethal levels of radiation throughout the entire system.

It was that all-out effort in the history of the planet VI that wiped out all life on the radiated planet and allowed all the surviving VI people of that generation to evolve extreme resistance to radiation damage.

It is said that this will benefit all the Witrum people afterward.

"Blue stars... How did these real-world objects in the Phantom Zone even appear? There are even such rare, heterochromatic stars." Li Zhen crossed his arms and fell into his usual deep thought, silently reminding Rachel from time to time to remind him of things he might have forgotten.

The sky sailboat cut through the thin high-altitude air currents and glided smoothly forward. The light path barrier on the hull completely isolated it from the wind and sand, as well as the eerie aura that kept growing on the ground.

As we sped along, the scenery along the way gradually transformed.

The previously overwhelming, boundless crimson desert gradually faded away, and the blood-red sand flying everywhere almost disappeared, leaving the world clean and empty.

The pale purple sky grew even clearer, and the dazzling azure sun hung high in the sky, illuminating the entire earth with a transparent yet cold light.

Mal and Mia had already stopped their whispering. The two leaned against the side of the ship's railing, silently watching the changing landscape along the way.

After an unknown amount of time, Mon El, who had been steadily steering the ship, suddenly turned the rudder slightly, and the blue hexagonal sails that had been raised slowly retracted. The speed of the Sky Sail suddenly slowed down, and it finally came to a steady stop in mid-air.

"We've arrived."

Mon El's calm voice rang out.

Upon hearing the sound, Li Zhen withdrew her gaze from the distance and looked at Mon El's retreating figure.

"It's more than 500 Kryptonian miles from here to the Phantom King's castle, which is about 700 miles in Earth's units."

Mon El turned to look at the group, his tone resolute. "I personally participated in the construction, renovation, and even perfection of most of the projects surrounding the Phantom King's Castle."

"The surveillance system around the castle spreads out irregularly in a radial pattern, with miniature surveillance cameras covering the ground, low altitude, and airspace, leaving almost no blind spots. It is specifically designed to monitor any unusual activity in this area."

"The location we are in now is the closest to the castle, and it is also the only blind spot in the entire surrounding area where no surveillance equipment has been deployed."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhen walked to the edge of the boat, bent down, and looked down.

The scenery beneath our feet was completely different from the blood-red desert we had come from.

The once boundless red desert has completely disappeared, replaced by a vast, undulating expanse of red rocky terrain.

The ground is uneven, covered with jagged rocks and ravines of varying depths. Each rock is dense and has a heavy, hard texture. The solidity and stability of this land can be clearly perceived with the naked eye.

Clearly, the Phantom King's surveillance target was not an intruder.

That probability is too low; Superman doesn't often encounter enemies so difficult that he has to be thrown into this kind of situation.

Another eerie aspect of the Phantom Zone, as mentioned by Monel before.

It will continuously breed all kinds of deformed monsters, and their numbers will increase year by year without any pattern.

These surveillance systems are essentially designed to monitor the monsters' movements in advance. The loose soil in desert areas makes it easy for monsters to hide, and it's also the most active area for those mutated creatures.

But this region of hard rock is different; the rock formations are solid and resources are scarce, so even those giant monsters are reluctant to come here.

Similarly, the number of surveillance cameras will naturally be reduced.

The logic is perfectly connected, with no forced elements.

Li Zhen quietly looked down at the desolate red rock land beneath her feet, taking in every detail, silently confirming Mon El's statement in her heart.

After confirming that everything was correct, he took two steps back, turned to the side, and his gaze fell on Mon El, who was steadily steering the ship.

"Something's really wrong with you, Mon El."

Li Zhen expressed her heartfelt emotions.

Throughout, every word and explanation by Mon Ayr was perfectly logical and well-founded.

Even if he activated his super brain's accelerated thinking, repeatedly reviewing all of the other party's words and actions since their appearance, scrutinizing each one.

However, they could only conclude that the other party was a natural ally who could stand on the side of outsiders like them.

Mon Elson turned the helm, then turned to face Li Zhen, his usual sunny smile tinged with a hint of confusion. "Why?"

Li Zhen spread her arms out and shrugged her shoulders.

"Shouldn't I be asking you that?"

Following Rachel's prompting, Li Zhen finally remembered a detail he had inadvertently forgotten.

"Why didn't you ask us how your childhood friend, Superman, is doing the whole time?"
